In a time when SOME tie together ones role in one area of life with their job role, I wonder how the connection is determined.

For instance, I recall it being said about Clinton(Bill) that if he couldn't be loyal to his wife, he shouldnt be trusted to be loyal to the American people.

however, I havent heard those same people asserting this personal-professional connection in terms of the kind of parent a person has been. If they do not know how to deal with, talk to, raise their kids,, how can they be trusted to know how to deal with, talk to, or interact with outsiders and people they have no ties or interest to?

IT was a red flag to me our current POTUS apparent lack of any real interaction in the world that didnt involve becoming RICHER or spreading his family name further, the near absence of any charity or civil service of any type, and the odd lack of connection with his own wife or kids. THese were not signs to me of competence in all areas of life, of course, but definitely a flag to the degree of disconnect with anything out side of himself, his name, or his wealth.


I have said before, of course, a person can be wonderful at marriage and terrible at parenting

they can even be wonderful at parenting, but terrible at marriage

maybe they 'connect' more with kids than adults, or vice versa

but neither flaw has much to do with a JOB because most of us disconnect our JOB from our personal relationships and lives. Just because GATES or OPRAH are good at what they do professionally, does not mean they are good with their personal relationships.

and just because someone is bad at personal relationships, doesnt mean they are not wonderful with technology, or numbers, or some impersonal type of occupation.

Is there a connection between our personal skills in our personal lives, and our professional skills in our occupation, or does it depend more upon the specific crossover of the skill WITH the occupation?

for instance, a person who is shy, is probably not going to be a good salesperson because of the need to have comfort speaking to others. And a person who is quiet will probably not be a boxing announcer, because of the need to project their voice,

but crappy father does not automatically make for a crappy accountant, since there is really not much need for alot of personal empathy or caring or nurturing when working with numbers.

So, if you were to pick personal relationship skills that are relevant to certain occupations, what personal relationship skills would you say might be significant for an occupation?

Memories memories, I had a few in my time laugh
Oh, sorry, yes, usually we'll have them with a roast dinner as a side.
Yummy with cranberry or apple sauce
